Sometimes it happens that
you don’t find number plate of your vehicle on it and later on realize that it
has been stolen. You must be thinking what kind of benefits someone can take by
stealing number plate of your vehicle. Well, this is a separate debate and we
might discuss about it in some later article. Today, we shall be describing
about the procedure you need to adopt if you find the number plate of your
vehicle missing in Saudi Arabia. If I share my experience of replacing the
stolen vehicle registration plate in Saudi Arabia, it was very hectic and
exhausted since I did not know the procedure. But I hope you will not have to
face same difficulty as the procedure is given below.

Procedure
at Police Station for the replacement of Vehicle Registration Plate

Keep in mind that theft is
a criminal offence and you should not take it lightly. You will have to report
the case to the nearest police station. You never know if the stolen number
plate of your vehicle is used in some terrorist activity, you might have to
spend rest of your life in Jail. So, take it top urgent that someone has stolen
your vehicle registration plate and go to the nearest police station with
following documents.

Iqama and copy of your
Iqama

Istamara (vehicle
registration) and copy of Istamara

Driving License and copy
of driving license

Rental Contract of your
house or any other proof of Residence

They will register the case and generate two copies of the report. One copy is for the internal use of police department and the other one will be for traffic police department.

Procedure at Traffic Police Station for the replacement of Vehicle Registration Plate

After this, you will have
to visit traffic police department with the copy of the report given to you by
the police department, Iqama, driving license and Istamra.

You will have to submit
the documents to the traffic police department. After submission of documents,
they will ask you to come at some later date (usually after one week).

Go to the traffic police
department on that particular date along with payment of SR 100 for the
replacement of stolen vehicle registration plate. They will give you a small paper as a receipt of documents.

You will have to visit them after one week to get the new number plate.
